Use the spiders to make yourself a bridge to get to the woman.

Or perhaps a mega mecha spider suit.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
Being just about well and fully done with this place, you return to the second floor to investigate one last time.

> Use the telescope to see where the parade of shades is going.

Moving the spyglass again takes herculean effort as before. Perhaps its golden casing has unfathomable mass in this place. There is no way you're taking it with you in your current form.



It is difficult to make out, but you believe you can see the procession going towards a small town far in the distance.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:

Hell no, I say go the OPPOSITE direction they're going.

Before you decide your next steps, you shove the spyglass around to the west where the path seems to originate.



You can make out a strange structure the line of shades is moving away from. Their number seems to begin thinning out nearer to whatever the origin of this odd exodus is.








There is one thing left to do... you've kept it in the back of your mind since you first noticed the void behind the looking glass.

Thank you all for joining me today! Sincerely, I wouldn't be motivated to try and tell this story without your input. So thank you for that. Voting for ATTRIBUTION will remain open until the next update which is going to involve a little more elbow grease than the usual scribblin'. Hopefully sometime tomorrow! ...Or possibly Sunday. Or never if my lovely tablet gives out! Stay tuned!

Regardless, you have felt the completion of your meditation take hold. You have begun to better understand the nature of yourself.


SOUL +1

  • Sublimation/Deposition: Become less solid. Near transparency increases subtlety and allows movement through some barriers. Reduces ability to impact environment, feel less. Or become more solid & conspicuous. Temporarily increases strength as well as susceptibility to pain and damage.

  • Transpose: shift to light shade form, reveals hidden things. Cannot take most companions into this state. Being attacked or taking damage ends transposition. 50/50 chance of relocating to where transpose began when effect ends. Long cool-down.

  • Arachnid Affinity: give simple commands to Dennis/Denise, provide and delegate suggestions to Spider Swarm when available. Can generate and form some equipment with webs on long cool down. Commands that prove too complex have a chance of turning the swarm against you.

Great my idea not only got us "killed" but pissed off that Mom and her newborn/feotus.

Current vote to check out the ark that the rest of the shades are coming from. This will probably kill us too.
